          Not disagreeing but kind of crazy that BHop could be considered prime at almost 37.

          I think BHop gives Canelo some problems. Canelo has great defense but limited output. Hopkins also picks his spots, but he is more unorthodox when he does, and I think that will suit him well against Canelo whose defensive skills won't necessarily match up best with that style.

          Canelo's only real flaw to me is his workrate - he is never active enough for me. If he can do something to bother Hopkins, I could see a Canelo UD. I would favor Bhop though to potshot and decision Canelo in an awkward, not super exciting or high-action fight.

            That would be a war,Bhop was a beast til age 37,Canelo is in his prime now & has grown into a killer. That to me would be a 55-45 fight for Bhop because he was damn near unbeatable at mw,I think at 168 Canelo decision.

              Canelo is great but Hopkins was a little greater in my opinion. Hopkins wins a close decision.

                    Hopkins ***s him up royally.

                    Canelo is overrated as sht above 154.

                    Oscar Delahoya was a better fighter than Canelo.
